Porn Star Stoya Says Gaming Nerds Are Her Kind of Guy
The Digital Playground starlet also loves her gadgets
Digital Playground’s hottest adult film star, Stoya, has been an Internet sensation. The award-winning porn star most recently was at the AVN award show in Las Vegas in tandem with CES 2011. The 24-year-old porn starlet has set the porn industry on fire with movies like Nurses, Stoya Heat and Deeper 11 — all available on Blu-ray Disc for your PlayStation 3. Stoya took some time to talk exclusively about her love of gadgets, which Digital Playground co-stars are hooked on World of Warcraft, and why a gaming “nerd” is “her kind of guy.” Her movies are available at Digital Playground, and if you’re really obsessed with Stoya’s world, she keeps up on Twitter.
What videogames did you play back in the day?
I never really got into videogames (defined as something that uses a game console and a TV), although there was a brief infatuation with PlayStation’s Chrono Trigger. I started with some kind of Bearenstein Bears learn-to-read game booted from DOS. Mostly, I liked Heroes of Might & Magic and Sid Meier’s Colonization and Civilization — emphasis on Sid Meier because I feel Civilization really went downhill once he was no longer involved with it. I hear there’s a new Colonization in the works with Meier back at the helm, but probably shouldn’t get too interested in it because those sorts of games tend to eat up large amounts of my time and there’s this pesky work thing that takes priority.
What was the first videogame that really got you addicted and what was it about that game that hooked you?
Civilization. It made chess make sense. Plus, who doesn’t enjoy conquering small and then large nations?
Who do you think the sexiest videogame vixen is and why?
Really, the games I like playing didn’t have vixens in them, and I feel like doing a five-minute Google image search to pick a hot vixen for the purpose of this interview would be cheating.
What do you think the game industry could do to attract more girl gamers?
I think the real issue is generalization of girls by the gaming industry. If a chick likes blowing the heads off of invading CGI troops or playing heavy strategy games, she’s going to be into the stuff that’s already out there. If she doesn’t, no amount of bunnies and hearts is going to change that fact. As far as what would attract girly girls to video games, I’m so out of touch with the shopping mall and pony set that I’m really not the person to ask.
What gadgets are you using these days?
Well, right now I’m typing this on a MacBook Air (the old style spinning hard drive model, not the new static drive one), considering turning on my G1 phone to check for messages and wondering how many times my Blackberry Curve has gone off at home (the Google phone rocks, but the Blackberry gets better service in the subway and is a bit more stable). The Blackberry is sitting next to my dual phone line-enabled Bluetooth headset next to my bed.
